United Cup 2023: Grigor Dimitrov vs David Goffin Tennis Prediction

TennisSection previews the 2023 United Cup as Grigor Dimitrov takes on David Goffin in the group stages on Saturday, December 31st, 2022.

Will Grigor Dimitrov get the win? Will David Goffin pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have a veteran clash between two exciting players. Who will triumph and claim the victory for their country at the 2023 United Cup?

Grigor Dimitrov played a great first match against Tsitsipas, falling in 3 tough sets. As he looks ahead to David Goffin, he will certainly like his chances as he looks to get the win for Bulgaria. Although Goffin has somewhat of a resurgence last season and is still playing some good tennis, the form of Dimitrov is telling and I expect him to carry that level over to take down the Belgian and get the win for Bulgaria here at the 2023 United Cup.

David Goffin had a solid 2022, recovering from injuries and making some solid results including a quarterfinal at Wimbledon, but he’ll have to lock down for this match coming up against Grigor Dimitrov. If he wants to win, he’ll have to play some aggressive tennis, as I think as the rallies get longer Dimitrov will be able to use the quicker conditions to his advantage, especially with how big he can serve. Let’s see who comes out on top at the 2023 United Cup.

Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin have met ten times before, with Grigor Dimitrov leading the head-to-head 8-2. With quite a large sample size, we have even more reason to favor Dimitrov in this match, although it is their first clash in 3 years, with their last meeting being at the ATP Cup in 2020, which Goffin was able to win. Let’s see if Dimitrov can live up to expectations and grab the win as he looks to pick up a first victory of the 2023 season here at the 2023 United Cup.
